Finally, after the longest year of our lives, school is out, and it is summertime. Usually, during summer, you could catch some incredible, kid-friendly events in our stores each week. This year, we are doing things a little differently. Each Friday at noon throughout summer, you can tune into any Bookmans Tucson Facebook and Instagram to watch some of our favorite local partners sharing their expertise.

This past year has been tough for everyone. We all must look after our mental health no matter what age. Join the Children’s Museum Tucson for a short presentation of mindfulness exercises for children. Use these exercises to beat those summer boredom blues. What does it mean to be human? “I am Human: A Book of Empathy” by Susan Verde, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds and published by Abrams, helps us think about it. A mindfulness exercise helps us bring forth empathy for others, an important part of being human. Read by Jordan Menefee, Education Specialist at the Children’s Museum Tucson.
